💡 Is couples therapy the right step for your relationship?
What if your relationship feels off, but you’re not sure where to start?
Should you go to therapy when your partner doesn’t want to?
Will it actually help, or just turn into a weekly complaint session?
The Mistakes That Can Hold You Back
Most couples go into therapy hoping for change but leave feeling frustrated. Why? Because not all therapy is the same. Before you start, you need to know:
- What happens if your therapist isn’t actually trained in couples therapy? (Hint: 80% aren’t!)
- Why a lack of a structured roadmap will keep you stuck in the same cycles.
- The mindset shift that will make or break your therapy experience.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
🔥 The truth about couples therapy training—and why most therapists aren’t equipped to handle relationship dynamics.
🔥 How to avoid “venting sessions” and find a therapist who actually creates change.
🔥 The leadership problem in therapy—why you need more than just a mediator.
🔥 The #1 shift that will help you get results—even if your partner is resistant to therapy.
💡 Mindset Shift: Therapy isn’t about fixing your partner—it’s about becoming the kind of partner who creates a better relationship. When you shift your focus, your relationship starts to shift, too.

Episode 35: Why Don’t Our Partners Help Us? (And What You Can Do About It)
Friday Jan 17, 2025
Friday Jan 17, 2025
Do you ever feel like you’re carrying the weight of everything in your relationship?
Like your partner doesn’t step up, leaving you feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or responsible for everything?
If you’ve ever wondered how to get your partner to help more or why they don’t seem to notice what you need, this episode is for you.
We’re unpacking the reasons behind this dynamic and exploring practical steps to create balance in your relationship.

- How to stop feeling like you’re responsible for all the emotional and physical labor.
- The role of self-expression in getting your partner to step up without nagging or conflict.

5 Steps to Get Your Partner to Help More
- Recognize Overfunctioning
- Overfunctioning happens when you take on too much—whether it’s tasks, emotions, or decisions—because you feel it’s easier than letting go. But this can unintentionally signal to your partner that their help isn’t needed, which keeps the dynamic stuck.
- Pause Before Taking Over
- Instead of jumping in to handle everything, pause and ask yourself: Do I really need to take this on, or can I let my partner handle it? Creating space allows your partner to step in.
- Communicate What You Need
- Partners often don’t help because they don’t know exactly what you want. Say things like, “I’m feeling overwhelmed and could use your help with [specific task],” rather than, “You never help.” Clear communication avoids blame and fosters collaboration.
- Let Go of Perfection
- If you expect your partner to do things exactly the way you would, you might unintentionally discourage them from helping. Focus on their effort rather than how perfectly they do something.
- Reinforce and Acknowledge Their Help
- When your partner steps up, let them know you appreciate it. Positive reinforcement builds their confidence and encourages them to contribute more consistently.
Key Quotes from the Episode
- “Your partner can’t step up if you’re always stepping in.”
- “Clear communication is the bridge between feeling unsupported and creating a true partnership.”
- “When you let go of control, you create space for your partner to step in and help.”

Do you feel like your partner never understands you?
Are arguments starting out of nowhere?
Or maybe your partner shuts down the moment you try to talk?
Miscommunication can make even small conversations feel impossible. It’s like you’re speaking two different languages, and no matter how hard you try, the message gets lost in translation. But here’s the thing: communication problems aren’t always about what’s being said—it’s about what’s being heard and understood.
In this episode, Jessica breaks down the 3 biggest reasons miscommunication happens in relationships and how you can learn to translate what you’re saying—and what your partner is trying to say—so you can truly connect.
Jessica will guide you through:
- Assumptions & Mindreading – Why thinking “they should just know” leads to frustration and conflict.
- Nonverbal Interpretations – How we often misread tone, body language, or facial expressions and jump to conclusions.
- Lack of Clarity in Messages – The danger of vague complaints and hidden expectations that leave your partner guessing.
If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why can’t they understand me?” or “Why do we fight for no reason?” this episode will help you untangle the confusion and improve your communication.
Learn simple tools to reduce miscommunication, understand your partner better, and start speaking the same language—literally and emotionally.
Tune in now to transform the way you communicate in your relationship!

Podcast Episode 31: Real Intimacy No One Talks About
Friday Dec 20, 2024
Friday Dec 20, 2024
Real intimacy isn’t just about feeling close or being ‘on the same page.’ It happens when one partner opens up about what they truly want—something real, something vulnerable—and the other meets it with curiosity, not judgment. This kind of connection isn’t luck or magic—it’s a process. There’s a roadmap to reaching this level of connection, and today, I’m sharing it with you. Grab a notebook or plan to come back to this episode, because once you learn how this works, it changes everything.
We Talk About:
The Hidden Roadmap to Intimacy:
-
Why real intimacy is about being vulnerable and being met with curiosity.
-
How to create emotional safety in your relationship.
Why Most Couples Feel Stuck:
-
Are you or your partner passive or avoidant?
-
Do you compete instead of collaborating?
-
Do you feel like you never spend quality time together?
-
Want to know how to create lasting relationship growth.
The Stages of Relationships:
-
The target to aim for in every relationship.
-
Differentiation Stage: How to maintain individuality while staying connected.
-
How to be truly understood by your partner.
-
Relationship Challenges When Stages Go Off-Track:
-
Symbiosis-Only Couples: Avoid conflict but lose individuality.
-
Hostile-Dependent Couples: Fight but can’t separate.
-
Conflict-Avoidant Couples: Bury issues until resentment builds.
Diagnosing Your Relationship:
1. Reflecting on Your Early Relationship:
-
Was your relationship fun and exciting in the beginning?
-
Did you feel connected, compatible, and supported?
Why This Matters:
-
If yes, you likely had a strong honeymoon stage, which can motivate you now.
-
If not, rebuilding may require deeper work.
2. Are You Stuck in a Cycle?
Avoidant Dynamics – The “I’m Fine Alone” Couple:
-
Does one of you act like you don’t need much from the other?
-
Are decisions made solo to avoid feeling controlled?
-
Does someone act more like they’re single than in a relationship?
What’s Happening: Avoidant partners fear dependence and often distance themselves emotionally. Their past experiences might have taught them that needing others leads to rejection or hurt.
Example: One partner resists their partner’s idea for a solo trip, responding: “You’ll get lost or something bad will happen—you’ll regret it.” It’s not about the trip—it’s about fear of being abandoned.
Hostile-Dependent Dynamics – The “Can’t Live With or Without You” Couple:
-
Do your arguments feel like competitions where only one person wins?
-
Do you often blame or criticize each other?
-
Are your fights intense and seem to come out of nowhere?
What’s Happening: Hostile-dependent couples crave closeness but fear vulnerability. Their fights are often about deeper fears of rejection that surface during everyday struggles.
Example: A partner might yell, “You never appreciate what I do around here!” after a fight about chores. It’s really about feeling invisible or unvalued.
3. Are You Blocking Emotional Growth?
Ask Yourself:
-
Do you struggle to let your partner want or think differently from you?
-
Do you assume if they disagree, they don’t care?
-
Do you say “we” instead of “I” to avoid conflict?
Breaking the Cycle: Practical Steps
-
Tolerate the Anxiety of Difference:
-
Can you sit with the discomfort of your partner wanting or doing something you don’t like—without jumping to blame or control?
-
-
Own Your Experience:
-
Use “I” statements like: “I feel [specific emotion] when [specific situation]” instead of accusations.
-
-
Be Curious, Not Critical:
-
Ask yourself, “Why might they want this?” instead of assuming bad intentions.
-
-
Challenge the Need for Control:
-
Understand that your partner’s independence isn’t a threat—it can create a healthier, deeper connection.
-
The Bottom Line:
When you can listen without shutting down, losing control, or withdrawing, your relationship will become more intimate—even when you have major differences like parenting styles, politics, or how you spend your time.
What I Suggest:
-
Review the questions I’ve posed.
-
Do some journaling and self-reflection.
-
Consider the benefits of allowing space for differences.
